Bio: One of the most exciting players in the WNBL, Ebzery has built a reputation on ferocious attack on the basketball and rare ability to score at will. The talented guard left the AIS after three seasons with 65 WNBL games to her name at just 18 years of age.

After one season at Dandenong, the then 19-year-old stepped away from the WNBL for the 2009/10 campaign – returning for the Sydney Uni Flames refreshed and recharged in 2010.

This comeback season was the most productive of Ebzery’s career, finishing with career highs in points, rebounds and field goal percentage. These performances saw Ebzery selected for the Emerging Opals 2011 World University Games (WUG) campaign, winning bronze.

The settled 23-year-old passed the 150 games milestone last season and continues to add to her international medal collection (2013 WUG bronze medal) and push for regular selection in the Jayco Opals program.

Career Highlights: World University Games: 2011 (Bronze), 2013 (Bronze), FIBA 3X3 Women’s World Championship: 2012 (Bronze), FIBA U19 World Championships: 2007.

Bio: One of the greats of the WNBL, Cox enters her 13th season at 33 years of age and still one of the best all-round players in the competition. Since debuting with the AIS as a 16-year-old in 1996, Cox has claimed a host of individual accolades and international medals.

After three seasons in Canberra she returned to Western Australia, joining hometown club the Perth Lynx for a two season stay from 1998 to 2000. Time away from basketball became a priority for Cox as she played just one season for the Lynx (2002/03) between 2000 and 2005.

A return to the court came in 2005 with the Townsville Fire, with Cox elevating her game to new heights –winning the WNBL MVP, back-to-back WNBL All-Star Five honours and taking the Fire to the finals.

This amazing period of success was highlighted by winning the silver medal with the Jayco Opals at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to go with her 2007 and 2009 Maher Medals for international player of the year.

Another sabbatical followed before returning to action in 2011/12 with the West Coast Waves, announcing her retirement at the end of the season, aged 32. A call from Karen Dalton convinced Cox she still had something to contribute and she returned to the court with the Sydney Uni Flames for the 2012/13 season.

Career Highlights: FIBA Oceania Championships: 2007, 2009, Olympic Games: 2008 (Silver), FIBA Junior World Championships: 1997 (Silver), WNBL MVP: 2009, WNBL All-Star Five: 2008, 2009, Maher Medal for International Player of the Year: 2007, 2009.

The Penrith junior got her first taste of international action during the off-season as part of the Australian Gems team that claimed bronze at the 2013 FIBA Under 19 World Championships.

With her first major international tournament under her belt, the focus now turns to continuing her development on the WNBL stage under the well-trained eye of legendary Flames coach Karen Dalton.
